As in, the actual sound of the names evokes certain behavior. Like, Aaron sounds a lot different than Joshua. Could our personalities be altered because of the way our brains process the sound? Do less or more vowels make a difference? Does length affect us?

This idea came upon me because of honor roll, actually. All throughout school, the people on the A honor roll have been thus: Ashley Borhart, Aaron Boyer, Allyson Muneke, Allison Rogutitch. Do the A’s have anything to do with how our intelligence has developed? Hmmmm…….

Absolutely true. And it seems that in some ways the strong need saving more than the weak–because the weak recognize their need for salvation, whereas the strong can be easily blinded by their own strength.

I think of the times when God weakened a strong man, ultimately in order to save him. Nebuchadnezzar grazed as a donkey in order to be humbled. Saul became blind and had to be led by the hand. And then their are those who never humbled themselves to receive salvation–King Saul, Solomon the wise, Darius, Ananias and Sapphira. They were so strong or so smart or so wonderful that they refused the salvation of God.

Yes, we all need saving, even the strong.
